AI REGULATIONS
Big Tech Lobbyists Target California Governor to Veto AI Safety Bill

The California AI safety bill, SB 1047, has passed the appropriations committee and is headed for a floor vote in the Assembly. If passed, it will require developers of large AI models to establish and report safety guidelines. However, Big Tech companies like Andreessen Horowitz and Y Combinator are lobbying against the bill, arguing it could stifle innovation and hold developers liable for safety issues. Influential lobbyists with ties to Governor Gavin Newsom are working to convince him to veto the legislation. National politicians, including Nancy Pelosi, have also come out against the bill, citing concerns about its impact on California's economy and AI industry. Newsom has until the end of September to sign or veto the bill.

Why it matters: This bill represents a crucial step in regulating the rapidly growing AI industry, ensuring that developers prioritize safety and transparency in their creations. If passed, it could set a precedent for other states and countries to follow, shaping the future of AI development and its potential impact on society.
